My expectation is that I should be able to ignore SSL errors in a Windows 8.1 store app since the capability to ignore SSL errors is possible with the C# class HttpClient. I looked at
possibly using WS_CERTIFICATE_VALIDATION_CALLBACK, but unfortunately the callback function is only supported for desktop apps. Is there some other way to ignore SSL certificate errors with the Windows Web Services API?

Thanks Rob for the reply. I used wsutil to generate the C proxy classes needed to communicate with a web service. Using HttpClient would require me to construct the soap message going to the service and deconstruct the soap message on the client.
Shouldn't there be a way to ignore SSL errors for clients using the Windows Web Services API?

Any hope that a feature will be added to the Windows Web Services API that will allow a user to ignore SSL certificate errors? It would be nice to ignore SSL cert errors regardless of the technology used.
